Do you think your recruiter gave you the right or wrong impression of Military life?

Recruiting is just like any other sales job. In fact, we had a two week exercise in Recruiting School where we had to practice selling a computer. Nothing to do with the military. Just sales.<div><br></div><div>The only thing I feel like my Recruiter could've done better with would've been to inform me of just how many jobs I actually qualified for, rather than sending me off to The Cannon Crewman's course. I guess there must've been a big push for combat arms in 1997?</div>

When I joined the Army in 1986 (delayed entry) and active in 1987, I quickly discovered my recruiter was a rug.....lying any chance he got.&nbsp; After the fact, nice guy, but military wise, POS.&nbsp; They had pictures of many of the installations around the office....Ft. Jackson SC showed somebody waterskiing.....he was telling me how much fun I would have there..... Never saw water unless it was in the shower.&nbsp; forget about a beach.&nbsp; Since that time, While I have never been a recruiter, anyone that asks me about the military gets the "no sugar coating" version....it is a good life, hard work, it is for some...not so much for others.&nbsp; Good and bad....

My recruiter told me "listen, i'm not going to lie to you, Basic, its going to suck, but its 9 weeks." also. "well i can't say i've met anyone of that mos (back when they were realigning alot of them)at least he didnt lie right?
